World at War is a turd. I remember people saying BUT TREYARCH HAVE AN ENTIRE TWO YEARS! IT'LL BE BETTER THAN 3 I PROMISE!!
Yeah, so much for that. It stinks of their terrible game design.
Worse yet, they now have COD4's gameplay quirks in their repertoire. So you have the worse aspects of COD4 and COD3 all wrapped up and concentrated into one shithouse.
I don't think I have the enthusiasm or motivation to even make it to the Russian levels as these awful Pacific missions are sucking the life right outta me.
And I gotta say again, it's butt ugly. I'm not even talking about the PS3 effect. It's visual design is putrid. Looking out at the airfield as tanks roll by

BIA might not be a technical powerhouse, but it's a pleasure to look at. It's got really nice bright and vibrant colours plus the character models are really great. I had hoped taking COD into the Pacific would bring a little color into the mix, but it's just dull browns and greys again. Yawn.
But I'm not saying BIA is amazing. The solo missions were ass, as were the tank sections. But the missions where they give you control of three squads were awesome. It was great fun maneuvering between cover spots, placing my squads in positions to supress enemy fire teams so I can flank. So much more interesting than the boring COD4 reject leve missions in WAW.
